PMI made a decision in 2006 to no more publish passing scores for its exams. In 2007, PMI also removed all quantitative elements from the post-exam review for test candidates. The passing score is estimated inside a range between 61% and 75%.

The exam has 200 multiple choice questions. Each question has exactly one correct answer. You will get 4 hours to answer these questions. 25 pretest questions will be randomly placed throughout the new examination to gather statistical information on the performance of these questions in order to determine whether they may be used on future examinations. These 25 pretest items are included in the 200-question examination, but will not be included in the pass/fail determination; candidates will be scored on 175 questions.

It is highly recommended that you become PMI member prior to signing up to take the test. The membership fee is $129 and application can be submitted online at www.pmi.org. If you are a PMI member, the exam fee is $405, for non-members, the exam fee is $555. Becoming a PMI member will not cost you anything, and you will gain PMI membership privileges.

If you register today, you receive a transcript and certificate after you complete studying our course material. The timing would be completely depending on your study. We send you certificate of course completion within 2 business days after we receive the notification from you.

You should read PMBOK for the Exam for sure. However, only PMBOK itself is not sufficient. If you take a look at PMBOK, it is more like a dictionary, and provides only theory. There are also some concepts PMBOK does not cover although PMI includes those concepts in the PMP Exam. Therefore, in addition to PMBOK, you must study from another resource. It can be a course, or a book, or an online training from us.

If your score is about 80%, it is the right time for you to write the test. Please note that it also depends on the sample test you take. There are some tests out there, much more difficult than the actual exam.

No matter what course you take or what book you study, you also need to study PMBOK and practice sample questions as much as you can. PMBOK is PMI's guidance book and can be obtained free from PMI by becoming PMI's member. Eventually, you will need to become PMI's member, when you register to take the PMP Exam. Therefore, obtaining PMBOK will not cost you any money.
However, PMBOK itself is not sufficient to pass the PMP exam. It is more like a dictionary and does not give practical tips and sample questions for the PMP Exam.
We recommend our students to start with optimalskill study material and then PMBOK, and then optimalskill study material again. Because, the participants will be discouraged when they start with PMBOK and they give up to take the Exam. However, if you feel comfortable starting with PMBOK, that's fine too.

PMI made a decision in 2006 to no more publish passing scores for its exams. In 2007, PMI also removed all quantitative elements from the post-exam review for test candidates. The passing score is estimated inside a range between 61% and 75%.
